a copy of Hiding Mr. McMulty
"A gritty and sometimes painful tale of Rass Whitley, an 11-year-old
sharecropper's boy who struggles to claim a place in his family
and, more importantly, in his father's affections. He's supported
and encouraged by Mr. McNulty, an elderly black man who lives nearby.
When a flood nearly wipes out the Whitleys and cheats McNulty out
of his rightful land, Rass risks his family's ruination by helping
McNulty hide from the Ku Klux Klan. Full of down-home Missouri details,
this book is a good way to get conversations going about prejudice,
and about how poverty can make good people look the other way when
oppression comes knocking." Donna Freedman - Children's
